Positive: I’ve stayed at a few hostels in Stockholm, and this one has definitely been the best. The location is perfect, right in Old Town and close to everything. The atmosphere felt more like a family home, with communal rooms, a kitchen, and everything you might need. The staff were very helpful, and Petra and Klara (if I remember their names correctly) were especially friendly and even showed me around the hostel. They really made me feel welcome. Overall, it was a perfect stay.
Negative: The only small downside is that towels and sheets aren’t included in the rent, but this was clearly mentioned beforehand, so it wasn’t a problem.
Summary: Perfect hostel!
